Nittsu NEC Logistics Co., Ltd.
Nittsu NEC Logistics Co., Ltd. provides optimal global logistics services to customers in the semiconductor, electronic components, and electrical precision industries.
One such service includes an optimal packaging design and testing service tailored to the customer’s unique cargo characteristics and transportation methods. This service also takes into account quality, cost, the 3Rs of packaging resources, and environmental conservation. The company Quality Evaluation Center, which is accredited by the International Safe Transport Association (ISTA), introduced a small thermal-hygrostat last year capable of testing 10 levels of temperature and humidity to evaluate products, packaged cargo, and materials in transportation. The smaller device enables the center to expand its services by increasing the scope of coverage in addition to existing large and medium-sized thermal-hygrostats.
The company is also developing sustainable logistics services to meet the needs of the space industry, which is expected to grow in the future. In April of this year, the company strengthened its partnership with DigitalBlast, Inc. and other companies to establish a one-stop service for transport in the space industry. Around the same time, the company also introduced its efforts at the SPEXA Space Business Expo, a space business exhibition held at Tokyo Big Sight. Introduced here were the company’s efforts in domestic and international logistics services to satellite launch sites, as well as in the design, production, and transportation of returnable boxes used in transporting onboard parts for space equipment, leveraging technologies unique to the company.
Nittsu NEC Logistics Co., Ltd. is committed to supporting the supply chains and sustainability management of their customers to achieve a carbon-neutral and decarbonized society.

NIPPON EXPRESS (SOUTH ASIA & OCEANIA) PTE. LTD
Nippon Express Logistics (Thailand) Co., Ltd. introduced its first EV truck, trucks that emit zero CO2 or pollutants during operation, in an effort to address climate change.
While countries around the world introduce EV vehicles to reduce CO2 emissions, there are few examples of EV trucks used as commercial vehicles in the logistics industry in Thailand. Amid these circumstances, the company introduced its first EV truck on January 19, featuring a maximum payload capacity of 8,800 kg and a cruising range of 200 km. The Bangkok Logistics Center, located near the Suvarnabhumi Airport, introduced these EV trucks for use in air cargo delivery and other operations.
Nippon Express Logistics (Thailand ) will continue to consider the use of EV trucks, including trailer heads and other vehicle types.
NX Information Systems Co., Ltd
NX Information Systems Co., Ltd was established in 2004 to play a central role in information services for Nippon Express and Group companies supporting global logistics.
The company’s mission is to contribute to business through IT and DX to achieve NX GROUP long-term vision of becoming a logistics company with a strong presence in the global market. In light of this mission, the company focuses on employing IT and DX personnel, who are in high demand in society, and strives to create working environments that consider diversity and inclusion.
Introducing a flexible work system and remote work at a relatively early stage in the history of the Group has enabled flexible work styles to take root as part of the Group culture. In particular, these flexible work styles allow both male and female employees to coordinate their work in advance and take advantage of childcare leave, which improves cooperation among colleagues. This atmosphere of cooperation has also spread within the organization toward those planning to take childcare leave.

NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC.
In April 2024, NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. partnered with ECOMMIT Co., Ltd.* on a project to collect clothing items for reuse and recycling. The companies set up a collection box for unwanted clothing items in NX GROUP head office building and asked employees to bring still usable but unwanted clothing items that would otherwise be thrown out.

The Company hopes to increase project participation by placing collection boxes at other companies with promising results.
